I have an old SP 6-7 75µ with a green line on the Black tip.
It have a printing, 75µ needle SP 6-7, but no B&O logo.
I have never seen copies / after market stylus looking like this.
Is it an original?
Welcome to beoworld !
No B&O logo = Not original.There were many copycat producers of the round cartridges.Some were actually quite good, others err... should maybe have found something else to copy.

However, there is a possibility.
Because these needles for the SP6/7 - original B&O needles had a color code and these needles could be incerted in a non original housing as Dillen explane.
If this is so, the needle / diamond could be original but the housing is not.
The only question: did any of the copycats also use the B&O dimond color coding?

Yes. but!!!!
I have only seen B&O logo on SP 6-7 15µ stylus.
I have two different. One with a steel look with the blue line on the Black tip. Tte other with an alu look without the blue line.
I know than B&O have changed design over the years.
Do any one have Pictures or data of the early ones?
